Bursary

Comox Valley Nature (CVN), also known as Comox Valley Naturalists Society, is a non-profit society affiliated to BC Nature and shares its mandate “to know nature and to keep it worth knowing”. Founded in 1966, CVN is one of the oldest environmental societies on the North Island and has 200 members. CVN fulfills its educational mandate by hosting monthly lectures, organizing free weekly guided hikes for members, and a free monthly walk open to the public. In addition to a variety of environmental projects it undertakes, CVN supports specialized groups (Birding, Botany, Conservation, Garry Oak Restoration, Wetland Restoration, Photography, Marine and Shoreline, and Young Naturalists). Club activities also include environmental conservation initiatives such as restoration of important wildlife habitats, bird surveys, and increasing public awareness and appreciation of wildlife, natural areas and the environmental issues affecting the Comox Valley.

For more than twenty years, the CVN has been awarding one Bursary of $1000 to a Comox Valley graduating grade 12 student who is planning a career in natural or environmental sciences.
